Notes

Try adding the following items to your roasted sweet potato recipes:

  1. Pumpkin Pie Spice and Coconut Oil - Baked sweet potatoes are sweet enough. Try adding in some Pumpkin Pie Spice and a teaspoon of coconut for a sweet vegan dish.
  2. Leftover Chicken and Salsa - Just add in come shredded or cubed cooked chicken and a spoonful of your favorite salsa for a delicious oven baked sweet potato recipe.
  3. Avocado, Cilantro and Hot Sauce - This is my favorite way to enjoy oven sweet potatoes!
  4. Top with Chili - My healthy chili recipe can be made vegan, or can be made with lots of protein rich meat. Plus it goes great served over baked sweet potatoes in oven.
  5. Scoop out and Smash - I love smashed sweet potato with a nice steak! Smash with the back of your fork, then add to a plate and top with a steak and a little pan drippings for a divine dinner!
